I think my own path is deeply inspired by Hinduism mainly, because I realized the ancient Hindu sages had indeed a deeper understanding of spiritual reality than others. Buddhism is pretty cool, I love the lotus sutra I'm reading it currently. But Buddhism as I see it is just an extension of Hinduism. So. The ancient sages of Hinduism had basically an understanding that was almost one hundred percent. But the one hundred percent belongs to my own path. I don't know what I really do. I believe firmly in it. I have found nothing better. Truth, knowledge, knowledge of the ultimate. Some people deny there is even any enlightenment. Maybe there isn't. Maybe there is no such strong bliss that goes beyond the mind. Maybe, but maybe there is. I am firmly resolved to find that out. A thought I recently had is, what if there is no escape from rebirth? I would still believe in enlightenment, the end of suffering. Suffering comes from ego. Without ego's power over you, you feel eternally blissful even if you happen to be reborn again on earth. As I said Hinduism inspires me. Buddhism does not, or maybe just a little. Buddhism focuses on bliss, but one should focus on truth first, then bliss. Truth reveals everything. How to be blissful, how to become aloof, dispassionate, and so on. That matters. But in the total picture, it doesn't. Nothing matters in the big picture. I believe in god of course. With him, nothing matters. I am a theistic nihilist. Alright gotta wrap it up. Peace.

So just lotus seat or what's your position or katas?
Or are you talking about thinking and not doing?

Thinking. Doing as well. I practice Sandhya for example without prayers. Meditation, pranayama.

ātmārāmāś ca munayo
nirgranthā apy urukrame
kurvanty ahaitukīṁ bhaktim
ittham-bhūta-guṇo hariḥ
>All different varieties of ātmārāmas [those who take pleasure in ātmā, or spirit self], especially those established on the path of self-realization, though freed from all kinds of material bondage, desire to render unalloyed devotional service unto the Personality of Godhead. This means that the Lord possesses transcendental qualities and therefore can attract everyone, including liberated souls.
